The Artist’s dream. Any artist will tell you there are always things you are itching to paint. This fanlight painting I created is inspired by a building I’d yearned to transform into a work of art for many years. Once a prominant victim of decay, it’s undergone a recent transformation. Keeping many of the features […]

This Rooftop painting is inspired by a tiled roof in a Buckinghamshire village which seems to have everything thrown at it, and the result is…? Colourful, complicated, cosy, *insert adjective here* Think someone wanted to get there money’s worth with this one. It’s a bit like a child in a sweetie shop, can I have

As architecture art goes, this has lots of features to note. Arch windows, stonework, leaded windows and the shape of the porch. The entrance to a former church, now repurposed and well used. As you can see, I’ve gone wild with colour. The building is superficially very yellow, being a sandstone construction. On closer inspection,

I have to admit to envisioning something far more mundane than this for the Drainpipe. My original plan was this one. Basic, functional, worn.

Manchester Blue Where to begin describing this painting . The Etihad stadium or Manchester City’s football ground. A place dear to the heart of the supporters. A building designed with crowds all football fans in mind . The numerous spiralling walkways that lead into or out of the ground. The blue wall listing the names

Possibly the smallest of the architectural features in the 4950 Series and a suitable topic for this Valentines Week. I’ll have to Figure out where this one is myself, I know roughly, but can’t remember exactly. I took the photo wome time ago. It is Buckingham centre, that much I can remember. Why do we

I originally planned this to be a dome but eventually settled on a Timber framed building. I ran out of time to get the reference photo. The structure of Timber framing has always appealed and they do have a quintessetially English feel about them. With so many fake Tudor style houses I wanted the genuine

Do you see a robot in this door painting? You know how when you see something, it’s really hard not to see it? Sometines in a painting, you see something unintentional. Like in this door painting. The only trouble is, once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it. The initial impression on your mind takes
